I'm looking for advice on how to mix this song. It's really an early work-in-progress. It has had VERY minimal mixing; set levels, little eq, a little reverb on one or two tracks and that is pretty much it. More details on the page as to the equipment used.

I am looking for some commentary on the music but more so what I should do as to mixing it. I have little/no experience mixing and I don't really know where to start.

Any help would be appreciated. Be as nice/cruel as you long (but constructive preferably). :)
 
Well, the stereo panning in the beggining might be a bit much. Sets a good mood, but it takes til 1:03 to move. I could hear this at a club, but it lacks the drum track to drive it forward. This isn't my genre at all, but I am left craving some musical/ dynamic development. Maybe I'm not stoned enough. Cool ideas though, don't get me wrong.
 
I'm actually just stoned enough for this..

I agree with SLuiCe's comments, but I think I liked it a little more.. :)
 
why not ask...

...barefoot what he thinks? This stuff is right up his alley. Maybe a PM could lure him to the thread?

Some good electronica... will listen later on monitors (damn Fisher Price Multimedia Speakers)

I was just kidding :D

you should not sell yourself short. I feel guilty for liking the mix.

I like the mix. Clear, open, big, and yet spacey.

Nice choice of instruments. etc

WELL DONE

funk on!
 
These damn kids with their electronical trance gizmos...

If geezers don't understand it, it's probably good.
Mix sounded fine to me, but what the hell do I know about trance...

Jeez, I'm starting to feel like Dick Clark.

Good job.

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside comeinside............. :)
I liked the first part best. The rest needs more stuff in it and some better drum sounds. It's a good starting point but it sounds incomplete.
 
It is very incomplete. I personally intend to alter it considerably after thinking about it last night. Personally I didn't intend for it sound so dance-orientated. I think I'll have some guitar and not quite as 'rolling' a rythem for lack of a better term. The drum programming is damn monotonous but I'll work on that eventually. Meanwhile, I'm sort of leaving this track right now until I finish some others.-
